Taylor Frankie Paul wants to resume Mormon Wives filming
Filming was halted on the reality TV show following new domestic violence allegations between Taylor and Dakota Mortensen earlier this year.
The pair’s relationship has created a consistent revolving door of conflict on the hit Hulu reality series Secret Lives of Mormon Wives, but after things turned physical in their on-again/off-again relationship, filming stopped.
However, after police declined to press charges, a source told Us Weekly: “She’s hopeful Secret Lives of Mormon Wives will continue soon and cameras will pick back up. Nothing has been confirmed yet.
“For now, she’s trying to mend things with the other girls so everyone can move forward peacefully. It’s still a work in progress.”
Utah’s Draper Police Department told Deadline in a statement: “After reviewing reports and evidence submitted to the Draper Police Department and West Jordan Police Department, the Salt Lake County District Attorney’s Office has declined to file charges against Taylor Frankie Paul.”
Meanwhile, ABC previously announced it was pulling the planned premiere of Taylor’s season of The Bachelorette after a 2023 video of Frankie, 31, throwing chairs at her ex-boyfriend Dakota Mortensen in the presence of her child was released by TMZ.
The clip was taken during an incident in 2023 connected to The Secret Lives of Mormon Wives’ arrest for alleged domestic violence following an altercation with Mortensen, 33, the father of her two-year-old son Ever.
At the time, Taylor was arrested and pleaded guilty to aggravated assault.
Further charges of domestic violence in the presence of a child, child abuse with injury and criminal mischief were dismissed.
She also has daughter Indy, eight, and son Ocean, five, with ex-husband Tate Paul.
A Disney Entertainment Television spokesperson said: “In light of the newly released video just surfaced today, we have made the decision to not move forward with the new season of The Bachelorette at this time, and our focus is on supporting the family.”
